John Dvorak is writing an “ongoing review(Ongoing Review)”:http://www.dvorak.org/blog/index.php?p=3 of WordPress. Anil Dash disagreed with some of his assessments in an e-mail to Joichi Ito. Joi forwarded the e-mail to John who then published “that letter(Movable Type Mavens Attack)”:http://www.dvorak.org/blog/index.php?p=73 on his blog. Joi says the letter was meant to be private. Anil “concurs(WP vs MT : [...]

Recently, visitors and users of free sites hosted at weblogs.com saw the following message. bq. This site is for people with sites that used to be hosted at weblogs.com. 1. I can’t afford to host these sites. I don’t want to start a site hosting business. These are firm, non-negotiable statements. 2. There are several [...]

Six Apart has revised the “Movable Type Licensing(Announcing Pricing & Licensing Changes to Movable Type)”:http://www.sixapart.com/log/2004/06/announcing_pric.shtml for Individuals for what we all hope is the final time. I looked it over, examined the options, gathered together my two Update Keys and decided rather than mess around with the limited license, I would go straight for the [...]

In order to add to the “spirit of Detente(Detente)”:http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/2004/05/28/detente that has been sweeping the blogosphere of late, I “upgraded(RSS to Atom Transition)”:http://www.thirdsuperpower.com/previously/2003/12/10/13/07/ my RSS Feed from 0.9 to the “Roger Cadenhead(Feeding the Feed Validator)”:http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/2004/06/01.html#a1798 version of 2.0. I also moved the Atom Feed from http://www.thirdsuperpower.com/atom/index.atom to “http://www.thirdsuperpower.com/atom/index.xml(Third Superpower Atom Feed)”:http://www.thirdsuperpower.com/atom/index.xml. Next up: turning the sideblog [...]

Mena “wants to know(How are you using the tool?)”:http://www.sixapart.com/log/2004/05/how_are_you_usi.shtml what we use Movable Type for. I thought I would take a moment to run down the list. One of my experiences is, I have tended to scatter installations across multiple domain names across multiple servers. So I don’t have quite the same problem that many [...]

bq. Movable Type 3.0 and on will not be the solution for everyone, and that’s okay. For some users, TypePad makes more sense. For others, non-Six Apart tools make more sense. – “Mena Trott(Where’s the Beef?)”:http://www.sixapart.com/corner/archives/2004/04/wheres_the_beef.shtml After some careful decision-making, I came to the conclusion that this site uses so many Movable Type plugins in [...]

bq. You’ve found MOVABLE TYPE. What started as a pet personal project has grown into something that we decided to release upon the weblogging masses. I know, you’re probably saying “not another weblogging management system.” Hopefully some of our features will make this seem as exciting to you as it does to us. But, really, [...]

Once upon a time, there was relative peace in the Syndication world. Then this statement was made. bq. The thing that Blogger and MT currently call RSS is not only not what UserLand does but it isn’t even an improvement over what UserLand does. – “Dave Winer(Blogging formats and protocols in May 2003)”:http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/bloggingFormatsProtocolsMay2003 Eventually, a [...]

bq. Presidential blogs have gotten a lot of press during this election cycle, But there are thousands of other political blogs out there, and if they all work together, the progressive blogosphere has the potential to set its own fundraising records. – “Dick Bell(Bloggers of the World Unite!)”:http://blog.johnkerry.com/blog/archives/001379.html I totally agree with the sentiment above.

The other day, Dave noticed that the RSS Feed at Evan’s site had stopped updating. bq. It occurred to me today that I hadn’t seen an update from Evan Williams in quite some time, so I went to his weblog to see if he had been udpating, and sure enough, he had. I guess they [...]
